Solar power generating 18% of the electricity of the University of Pittsburgh campus
About 18% of the electricity usage of the University of Pittsburgh campus per year will be generated by a new solar project!!
The University of Pittsburgh and Vesper Energy launched the Gaucho Solar Project on August 16, 2023. The Gaucho Solar project is set to generate over 35,700 megawatt-hours of electricity each year, leading to a reduction of 15,452 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually for Pitt's greenhouse gas emissions. This reduction is comparable to removing approximately 3,330 cars powered by gasoline from the road.
